9 Chapter 9

What did you expect from Matthew? Nothing. He didn't have a glimmer of knowledge about theater arts let alone acting. His acting is entirely disastrous. Fifth day of preparation but its a long way for Matthew to memorize the entire script much more on memorizing the steps on dancing. How unlucky!

Ryan is devastated. He wanted to speak ill to Matthew but what good does it make for him? Nothing. It's obvious that Matthew is not serious about this play yet he didn't show any sign of retreat. He might just be bored of his life that's why he participated in this play. Ryan

scratch the back of his head roughly, disappointment were clearly written on his face.

"That asshole!" Aria is irritated on Matthew's attendance. He's always absent and worse he didn't memorize his lines. His acting skills are most likely compared to a child.

"Lower down your voice Aria, he might hear you." Melissa warned her.

"I'm freaking angry Melissa. He wants to destroy our play can't you see it?" Melissa knows that. Matthew wants to destroy her dream and future, but what can she do? She's just an average student, no background, no wealth nor possessions to boast. How can she fight someone like him?

The influence of Matthew is widely known, from the moment he took the part as the leading male role. The former leading male actor was also hurt by him. Jeff, the former leading actor decline Matthew's offer at first, but Matthew used his influence to

devour his prey. Matthew scared him off into losing Jeff's scholarship if he wouldn't withdraw the role. In the end, Jeff accepted the compensation offered by him. Threatened of losing everything, he'd rather forget all of this and focus on his career.

If only she'll have the audacity to scream at him she'll gladly do it.

No! She cannot give up like this. She needs to take action for the sake of her father. Her father is in the hospital. Right now, she needs to earn money in order to pay the expenses in the hospital. Even if she needs to kneel down in front of him she'll gladly do it, just to save the play from damnation. Melissa does'nt have a choice, Its either now or never!
